Chapter 1051 Be Good
“Archie! Benny!” Estella finally broke into a smile. Archie and Benny were also excited to be reunited with Estella. The children sat together and observed each other as though it was their first meeting.
A while later, Archie frowned and asked, “Didn’t Mr. Farwell take good care of you? You seemed to have lost some weight.” Estella’s cheeks were obviously not as chubby as before.
Upon hearing that, Estella gave her own cheeks a pinch and smiled adorably. She tilted her head in contemplation before responding with a slight whisper, “I guess it’s because I was in low spirits.”
The boys stared at her anxiously. “Did Mr. Farwell bully you?” Estella’s mood had improved considerably when the boys appeared, and she found herself unable to contain her joyful grin.
She stuck her tongue out mischievously. “It’s because I didn’t get to see Ms. Jarvis and you both.” Daddy made me angry, so he dared not upset me further!
Archie and Benny relaxed at her answer. Benny couldn’t resist asking in concern, “Ms. Ward told us Mr. Farwell wants to transfer you to another school. Is that true?”
Estella gave a slight nod, followed by a shake of her head. “Yes, I’ve been transferred to a new school, but I only stayed there for one day.”
The boys were confused.
Estella puffed her cheeks and added, “I don’t like that school. I want to be with you both.”
Archie and Benny couldn’t bear to see her disappointment, so they quickly comforted her, “We want to be with you, too!”
Benny raised his arm in a rush to console her, only for his sleeves to roll down and expose the wound on his arm.
Estella immediately spotted the scar. She frowned in concern and demanded, “What is this? What happened?”
Benny flashed a guilty smile. “I fell down accidentally. Mommy has already tended to it.”
He slowly rolled down his sleeve and put his hand back down.
Estella pouted unhappily when she heard him mention Roxanne.
It has been a long time since I last saw Ms. Jarvis.
Benny belatedly realized he had said the wrong thing and cast a look in Archie’s direction, silently asking him for help.
Archie had no idea how to salvage the situation.
Roxanne didn’t want to see Estella, and no amount of persuasion would make her change her mind.
When the boys were racking their brains to figure out a way to change the topic, Estella suddenly perked up. “Why don’t you take me with you?” she suggested.
Before Archie and Benny realized what she meant, she inched nearer to them and tugged at their sleeves, pleading, “Could I please come with you to your house so I can meet Ms. Jarvis?”
The boys couldn’t bring themselves to say no as she was staring at them imploringly.
They agreed readily. “Sure. However, you must be obedient!”
Estella bobbed her head obediently.
After the three kids played in the room for some time, Estella glanced at the clock and urged, “Let’s go. Daddy is going to come back anytime soon!”
Hearing that, Archie and Benny got to their feet hastily.
It would be hard for them to bring Estella with them once Lucian came home.
The kids sneaked out of Estella’s room quietly.
Benny was the first to head downstairs to divert Catalina’s attention.
“Ms. Catalina, I’d like some water.” He gazed at Catalina and blinked innocently.
Catalina felt her heart melt, and she quickly turned around to pour him a cup of water without hesitation.
